Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse-Chapter 86: Gamble

"The most powerful is at the early stage of level two." Mo Chenxuan said, looking at the zombie birds.

"Leave them to the others?"

"Mmh." Mo Chenxuan nodded and quickly continued.

"Xu Fei is almost advancing to level two. It shouldn’t be too long now."

While the two were speaking, Xu Fei, Lu Yanyan, Lu Hao, and Xiao Junxie exited their cars.

A moment later, the four unleashed their abilities and began fighting the zombie birds.

Since there was only one level two bird, dealing with the group was not difficult.

In no time, all the zombie birds were dead and the team collected their crystal cores.

"Yanyan is shaping up to be a good fighter." Qin Wu observed.

"Her ice ability is powerful and she is not timid despite her age. She will become a great figure in the future."

After dealing with the zombie birds, the convoy continued forward and didn’t stop until they reached the entrance of the flower and birds market.

Soon after, everyone exited their cars and gathered at the market entrance.

"Each team has their mission so we should separate for now." Mo Chenxuan said, looking at Xuanyuan Yi.

"I agree." The man said.

Although he had ulterior motives for following team Legends, he didn’t plan to neglect his team’s missions.

Considering that, he agreed to the separation so that the two teams would not interfere with each other.

"Shall we meet here at around five?"

"Okay."

After that, team Overlord went right while team Legends went left.

"We are likely to encounter some mutant plants. Everyone should be vigilant." Qin Wu reminded.

Time passed quickly and team Legends easily killed a few mutant plants and collected the required seeds.

When that was done, they reunited with team Overlord at the market entrance.

For the next eight days, team Legends and team Overlord cooperated to complete a few tasks.

During that time, the two teams cooperated properly and showed no signs of the previous unpleasantness.

However, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were not fooled.

No matter how polite team Overlord was, Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan knew Xuanyuan Yi was not a good person.

Considering that, they could only think the easy cooperation and good behaviour were a prerequisite for a scheme.

That said, they didn’t plan to poke the hornets’ nest.

For now, they were content with the status quo and didn’t think too much about what team Overlord was planning.

On this day, the teams were resting in their cars when a metallic smell pervaded the atmosphere.

"Is it..." Qin Wu started and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

"Xu Fei is advancing."

"Great."

Two days after Xu Fei advanced, Lin Rongrong also advanced, reaching the peak of level one.

It was also at this time that the Pine Fresh maternity hospital entered Mo Chenxuan’s spiritual ability range.

"I see it." He exclaimed and began checking the area.

One minute later, he sighed and glanced at Qin Wu with a solemn expression.

"It’s almost as we expected." He said.

"Hundreds of zombie foetuses?" Qin Wu asked and Mo Chenxuan nodded.

"It’s not going to be an easy fight."

"In that case, let’s not go further for today."

"Good." Mo Chenxuan agreed.

Although there was still a few hours before sunset, the two felt it necessary to stop so that the team could have a good rest.

That way, everyone would be in top condition when they entered the maternity hospital the following morning.

Thinking this way, Mo Chenxuan found an appropriate building and stopped the car.

When everyone gathered, Lin Rongrong looked at Mo Chenxuan with questioning eyes.

"We are almost at the hospital so we decided to stop for the day." Qin Wu explained and the others nodded in understanding.

That night, team Legends and team Overlord didn’t interact.

Instead, each team gathered together to discuss tactics and plan for the next day’s operation.

"This time, we will act in a group and won’t separate." Mo Chenxuan informed, looking at his teammates with solemn eyes.

From his preliminary assessment, there were two level three zombies in the maternity hospital.

With his ability, Mo Chenxuaxn was sure he could handle the two zombies.

However, the two level three zombies were not the only threats,

Excluding them, there were more than one hundred level two zombies, ten of which were in the peak stage.

Comparing the numbers, team legends was severely outnumbered but Mo Chenxuan wasn’t concerned.

"For tomorrow’s mission, Yanyan will be in charge of crowd control." Mo Chenxuan said, looking at the little girl.

Although Lu Yanyan was only at the peak of level one, her ice ability was especially suitable for crowd control.

Even though she could only manage to freeze tens of zombies for only a few minutes, this delay was enough for the team to deal with the controlled zombies.

"Yanyan will do her best." The little girl said while thumping her chest.

"Yanyan is very hardworking." Qin Wu praised.

If possible, Qin Wu didn’t want such a little girl to appear on the battlefield.

However, there was no use for such sensibilities in the apocalypse.

If Lu Yanyan did not work hard to improve her strength, she would surely suffer in the future.

After all, she was a beautiful girl and having such beauty was synonymous to owning jade during the apocalypse.

’What a messed-up world.’ Qin Wu thought, feeling a little grateful that she and Mo Chenxuan didn’t have children.

"Rongrong and Xiao Junxie will cooperate with Yanyan. Your responsibility will be to guard Yanyan and dealing with any errant zombies."

"Got it, brother Mo." Lin Rongrong said and Xiao Junxie also nodded.

After half a month of travelling with the group, Xiao Junxie already understood the team dynamics.

Because of this, he didn’t question the group divisions and instead planned to do his best to cooperate.

"Wu’er, Xu Fei, Lu Hao, and I will be the main attacking force." Mo Chenxuan said and quickly continued.

"Once the freeze sets in, we will quickly deal with the frozen zombies and hope to eliminate them before the freeze wears off. Any stragglers will be left to Rongrong and Xiao Junxie."

After the meeting, the team settled down for the night, each with their own thoughts.

The following morning, everyone in team Legends was well rested and looked ready for a good fight.

Similarly, team Overlord seemed determined with no frivolity in their eyes.

’They are determined to win.’ Qin Wu thought.

However, this did not deter her.

Compared to team Overlord which was an A-tier team, team Legends was more desperate.

After all, completing this final mission would earn them enough points to upgrade the team rank to the target level.

For that reason, everyone in team Legends was full of fighting spirit and no one wanted to yield the mission to team Overlord. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Captain Mo." A voice suddenly resounded and Mo Chenxuan looked over.

"Captain Xuanyuan." Mo Chenxuan greeted and gave a brief nod.

"How about a little gamble?" The man suggested and Mo Chenxuan raised his eyebrow in question.

"What kind of gamble?" He asked.

"I will state my terms and you will state yours after listening to mine. Is it okay if we do it like that?" Xuanyuan Yi asked in a pleasant voice.

"Good."

"If my team wins, team Legends will be assimilated into team Overlord." Xuanyuan Yi stated and the members of team Legends couldn’t help but be surprised.

They didn’t expect such a turn of events.

However, when they thought about it, they felt they should have expected it.

After all, team Legends was not weak and its momentum was not low.

If they were left alone, they would sooner or later become as powerful as team Overlord.

"How will we determine the winner or loser?" Qin Wu asked.

"The number of crystal cores." Xuanyuan Yi said but Mo Chenxuan shook his head.

"It’s not reliable to use the number of crystal cores since both our teams have some in store." Mo Chenxuan said and quickly continued.

"I suggest we count zombie corpses. However, level two zombie corpses shouldn’t have the same value as level one corpses."

"How about, each level two zombie corpse is equivalent to ten level one zombie corpses and each level three zombie corpse is equivalent to ten level two zombie corpses. What do you think of this assignment?"

"I think it’s good." Xuanyuan Yi said in a nonchalant voice.

"Does that mean that captain Mo agrees to the gamble?"

"I agree to your term but I don’t know if you will agree to mine." Mo Chenxuan smiled.

"Captain Mo should feel free to speak."

"One hundred thousand level one crystal cores." Mo Chenxuan stated and Xuanyuan Yi couldn’t help but be surprised.

He thought Mo Chenxuan would also want team Overlord to join team Legends.

Unexpectedly, the man didn’t ask for this but asked for crystal cores.

However, this was good.

If it were other things, Xuanyuan Yi maybe would not be able to promise.
